Compiled code produced by @exec{raco make} relies on Racket
executables to provide run-time support to the compiled code. However,
@exec{raco exe} can package code together with its run-time support to
form an executable, and @exec{raco distribute} can packaged the

The @exec{raco exe} command embeds a module, from source or byte
code, into a copy of the @exec{racket} executable. (Under Unix, the
embedding executable is actually a copy of a wrapper executable.) The
created executable invokes the embedded module on startup. The
